Saudi: OK to kill owners of 'immoral' TV networks

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Saudi Arabia's top judiciary official has issued a religious decree saying it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV networks that broadcast immoral content.
The 79-year-old Sheik Saleh al-Lihedan said Thursday that satellite channels cause the "deviance of thousands of people."
We have to watch all this very closely, learn from it, understand what we are up against. THIS is the mentality that is at war with everything we hold dear, whether in Saudi Arabia or in our own neighborhoods. This is an endless war for freedom and civilization that there are no easy victories, no simple strategies -- what we can do however is note it, share it, and discuss it without fear of offending or insulting those who would kill over words and ideas.
This, cloaked in the guise of a friend, is the enemy, naked and unashamed of such horrific views. Now, I know Saudi Arabia is not one big monolith, but repressive regimes without a true separation of Church (or Mosque) and State ENCOURAGE this path of darkness within their borders.
